a day goes by ... my notebook awaits with empty blank pages

a week goes by ...  i write nothing more than a grocery list

a month goes by ... i'm out of practice and it's just hard to write


time goes by quickly ... i must try to slow down time


a day goes by ... i notice moments to cherish in my notebook

a week goes by ... i collect memories and practice the craft of writing

a month goes by ... i write with ease with continued practice

Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
